Gorgeous, Mike. Clean, crisp photo. The color and composition are good, but the dew drops really make this image.

Beautiful! Don't you love these flowers? They are so unusual. They're blooming all over the place in the NC mountains now. Saw lots of them this past weekend, but was unable to get a good shot. They tend to dance around in the breeze a lot!

Mike, Looks great. Water drops (very sharp) is a bonus. I do however see a very different shade of green under the flower towards the bottom left of the frame. Looks unusual.

Regards

Beautiful shot Mike, very well balanced, but I see some halos around the flower and on some other spots.

I did some extra sharpening around that part of the flower and must a caused the green to change color. I can fill it back in.
